Final Fantasy XIV MGP

The newly released FFXIV 7.35 offers players a wealth of exciting content, providing a vibrant and captivating world. Players can not only encounter new bosses from collaboration events but also engage in more thrilling challenges in Deep Dungeons, ensuring an enjoyable adventure.

One highlight of this update is the highly anticipated Pilgrim's Traverse, which perfectly blends challenging gameplay with an interesting backstory, making it an unmissable exploration destination for FF14 players.

This guide will explore Pilgrim's Traverse, from its design and unlocking methods to the exciting content you'll experience, helping you have a smoother experience in Final Fantasy XIV.

Pilgrim's Traverse

Pilgrim's Traverse is a level 91 Deep Dungeon appearing in Final Fantasy XIV 7.35.

Similar to other Deep Dungeons in the game, Pilgrim's Traverse essentially allows players to challenge dungeons solo or in a group. However, to make it easier for players to experience the game's interesting settings, FF14 patch 7.35 made several changes and introduced new systems.

In Pilgrim's Traverse, you will encounter more dangerous enemies, explore more hidden corners, and learn more about the story of Eorzea.

Whether you're a player seeking a high-difficulty combat challenge or someone who enjoys story exploration, you'll find great satisfaction in Pilgrim's Traverse.

How To Unlock Pilgrim's Traverse?

Unlocking Pilgrim's Traverse is a multi-step process that requires meeting specific conditions, demanding thorough preparation from players before venturing into this area to experience its unique content. To unlock Pilgrim's Traverse, you need to complete the prerequisite quest, Pilgrimage of Light.

There are some requirements for completing Pilgrimage of Light quest.

The first step is to complete Final Fantasy XIV main story quest, Endwalker. The main storyline provides players with the backstory and questline of Eorzea. Skipping this story will cause you to miss details in the game and potentially waste more time and effort on your adventure.

Secondly, players need to reach a specific level. Since Pilgrim's Traverse is a level 91 deep dungeon, players need to reach level 91 in either Discord of War or Magic to be eligible to enter.

This high level requirement makes Pilgrim's Traverse more of a deep dungeon designed for mid-to-late game players.

If players are eager to experience the new settings and systems, they can focus on leveling activities such as side quests, dungeons, and main quests. These quests provide a significant amount of experience points needed for leveling, helping you reach the required level efficiently.

It's worth noting that these quests contain some powerful enemies; investing in Final Fantasy XIV Gil to obtain more suitable weapons and equipment is a wonderful decision.

In addition to the requirements mentioned above, you also need to clear the 50th floor of Deep Dungeon Palace of the Dead. To make the game easier for players, FFXIV has modified Palace of the Dead, allowing even solo players to easily complete early levels.

After meeting these requirements, you can travel to Crystarium (X:10.3 Y:10.7) to find NPC Bright-eyed Child. Pay attention to your quest log and in-game markers; they will guide you to NPC's exact location.

Talking to him will trigger the final questline that unlocks Pilgrim's Traverse.

Highlights Of Pilgrim's Traverse

As mentioned earlier, Final Fantasy XIV has modified Pilgrim's Traverse and added new features. Here are some of the key changes:

Solo Or Team Challenge

Players need to enter Pilgrim's Traverse through Vanthau. You can choose to challenge it solo or in a team. If you choose to team up, you can choose a fixed team or random matchmaking.

It's worth noting that for fixed teams, each member needs to have the same save data. If any member deletes the save file, the entire team will be unable to continue the remaining challenges.

Random matchmaking has fewer restrictions; the system matches players with the same deep dungeon progress based on their save files.

All Floors Can Be Played

For FF14 players who enjoy team challenges, Pilgrim's Traverse will become their favorite deep dungeon. It allows players to team up for challenges on all floors, not just the initial ones.

Class Upgrades

Regardless of the class level a player uses in FFXIV main game, they will start at level 91 in Pilgrim's Traverse. By defeating enemies in the deep dungeon, the character's level can be increased to a maximum of 100. During this process, players will once again experience the joy of leveling up through monster battles.

It's important to note that class upgrades in Pilgrim's Traverse differ from those in the main game. While essentially gained through killing monsters, class upgrades in Pilgrim's Traverse are not carried over to in-game class levels.

While food experience bonuses can help you gain extra experience points when leveling up in the main story, they no longer apply to Pilgrim's Traverse. Furthermore, the effect of Rested experience will be ignored.

Rewards

Completing objectives in Pilgrim's Traverse will reward you with special items. You can use these items to trade with NPCs in the game for weapons or other items you desire.

Additionally, if your class has reached the maximum level, you will receive generous amounts of Allagan tomestones and Final Fantasy XIV Gil, depending on your progress in Pilgrim's Traverse. If your level is between 91 and 99, in addition to the above two rewards, you will also receive experience points for leveling up your character.

Overall, Pilgrim's Traverse is more suitable for mid-to-late game FFXIV players, but this isn't absolute. The unique design of this newly introduced deep dungeon means it doesn't require highly skilled players like other deep dungeons, allowing even casual players to experience the satisfaction of continuous victories.

This fun deep dungeon for all players is worth your time. Whether you're there for the combat, the story, or the rewards, Pilgrim's Traverse will immerse you. So, gather your items and team up with friends for a fun-filled adventure.

Final Fantasy XIV's latest patch, 7.35, released on October 7th, following 7.31. The most compelling feature of this patch is likely the crossover event with Monster Hunter Wilds and the various rewards that come with it.

As such, some of the new minion and mount rewards offered by all the events and challenges available in Patch 7.35 are related to the crossover event. Of course, other standard minions and mounts are also worth acquiring.

Below, we'll provide an overview of the new content in Patch 7.35, followed by a guide to obtaining all the minion and mount rewards in the patch.

Patch 7.35 New Content Overview

This patch's new content primarily includes a new dungeon, a Monster Hunter Wilds crossover, and chapter updates for some questlines. Completing these will earn you quest-specific rewards and more FFXIV Gil.

Pilgrim's Traverse Dungeon

As the fourth deep dungeon in Final Fantasy XIV, Pilgrim's Traverse still begins at level 91, allowing players to progress up to level 100.

Unlike previous dungeons, this dungeon features several innovations while retaining the hallmarks of FFXIV. For example, you can now match with a party through Duty Finder within the dungeon, rather than having to assemble a party in advance.

Additionally, checkpoints allow you to save your progress on floors 1, 21, 31, 51, and 71 (of the 100 floors). This reduces the need to invest a large amount of time in a single quest, making dungeon exploration less stressful for your party.

Note that in addition to the character level requirements, to access Pilgrim's Traverse, you must have completed Endwalker main scenario quest and cleared at least 50 floors in Palace of the Dead.

Quantum Mode

This mode allows you to unlock the special quest, The Final Verse, after completing the main dungeon, and experience the ultimate challenge by battling the 99th floor boss.

This mode allows up to four players to form a party at once. Before the battle begins, players can submit up to 40 offerings to enhance the boss's stats, and a new penalty mechanic has been introduced.

Windward Wilds Trial

This trial is a crossover event between Final Fantasy XIV and Monster Hunter Wilds. It has no time limit and will remain a permanent feature in Final Fantasy XIV.

To participate in this trial, you must be at character level 100, have an item level of 725 (Normal) or 740 (Extreme), and have completed Dawntrail questline. You'll need an eight-player party to fight Guardian Arkveld from Monster Hunter World.

New Quests

The first quest update is Yok Huy Allied Society quest, which requires you to investigate the cause of the snow elves' viciousness in ancient ruins with members of the society. You can also complete crafting jobs by repairing the ruins.
